//
// MParContainer
//
// The MParContainer class is the base class for all MARS parameter
// containers. At the moment it is almost the same than ROOT's TNamed.
// A TNamed contains the essential elements (name, title)
// to identify a derived object in lists like our MParList or MTaskList.
// The main difference is that the name and title isn't stored and read
// to and from root files ("//!")
//
// MParContainer has several enhancements compared to TNamed:
//  - GetDescriptor():        returns name and class type
//  - GetUniqueName():        returns a unique name (used in StreamPrimitive)
//  - SetLogStream(MLog *lg): Set a logging stream to which loggingis stored
//  - Reset():                Reset content of class in an eventloop
//  - IsReadyToSave():        The contents are ready to be saved to a file
//  - IsSavedAsPrimitive():   A unique name for this instance is already
//                            existing
//  - SetVariables():         Can be overloaded if the containers stores
//                            coefficients (to be used in fits)
//  - SetDisplay():           Set a display for redirecting graphical output
//  - GetNames():             Get Name/Title from instance and store it in
//                            a TObjArray (used to store the names of the
//                            conteiners in a file
//  - SetNames():             vice versa
//  - ReadEnv(), WriteEnv():  Function which is used for automatical setup
//    IsEnvDefined()          from a TEnv file
